Skyrim + Over 100 Graphics Mods = Stunning Beauty

One of the wonderful things about PC games is that they can be modified in thousands of different ways, from the goofy to the sublime. And, of course, multiple mods can be applied.

Unreal has made it his job to apply as many mods as possible to Skyrim, to see what the future of graphics might be like. And it's really, really pretty.

First, here's the game itself, in motion:

Looks good. Superb, in fact. Now here's what Unreal's done to it:

As you may have noticed, the game is still playable in this state: According to Unreal, the only mod that makes the game really chug is a work-in-progress that animates the grass.

Our Take: This is as much a testament to the modding community as it is to the power of modern gaming PCs: Unreal pulled together the mods from across the Internet, and these were all things people did in their spare time because they loved the game. It's great to see players working together to give us a glimpse of the future. We can't wait to see what comes next.
